    5. PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY Patient confidentiality is a conscious effort by every healthcare worker to keep private all personal information revealed by patients and their families and/or medical records during a hospital visit. You may have access to confidential information about patients and their families. You must never discuss, disclose or review any information about a patient’s medical condition with any other person unless they have proper authorization. Patients and their families are entitled to privacy and it is your ethical and professional obligation to respect that privacy at all times. All are responsible for patient confidentiality. General Guidelines

    • Medical record information can only be released with a proper consent signed by the parent or legal guardian, or in accordance with state or federal law.

    • Refrain from having verbal conversations regarding patient information in hallways, elevators and other public places.

    • Any questions regarding release of information should be directed to the HIM department

    • All patient medical information must be discarded in 1) an approved confidential disposal bin, or 2) an approved shredder, as provided by the Hospital to prevent the information from being disclosed to unauthorized individuals.

    General notes about HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act):

    • Confidentiality and privacy mean that patients have the right to control who will see their protected health information (PHI). PHI includes, but is not limited to: name, relative’s name, address, social security number, account numbers, date of birth, telephone number, fax numbers, voice or finger prints, photos, and other personal identifying information.

    • Communication about patient health information should be limited to those who need the information in order to provide treatment, payment, and healthcare operations (TPO).

    • When faxing patient information, double check the number. If necessary, call to ensure the fax was delivered to the correct person. Do not fax sensitive, highly protected health information (e.g., information about a patient’s drug or alcohol dependency, psychotherapy notes, HIV status, sexual assault)

    • Patient privacy can be violated when PHI and patient names are left on voicemail messages or telephone answering machines.

    • Computer printouts, and other paper records containing patient information, must be kept in a secure place and shredded when no longer needed.

  • Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Resident Orientation - June 2007

    • You must never discuss, disclose or review any information about a patient’s medical condition with any other person unless they have proper authorization.

    • HIPAA violations may include both civil and criminal penalties for the individual as well as the hospital.

    Patients and their families are entitled to privacy and it is your ethical and professional obligation to respect that privacy at all times. Generally speaking, all members involved in patient care, including physicians, nurses, residents, and other staff, as well as students and volunteers are responsible for patient confidentiality. 6. ENVIRONMENT OF CARE Emergency Preparedness The hospital has established a Hospital Emergency Operations Plan (HEOP) with several “parts” as a means to prepare for and address events and emergencies. This section will help you learn how to respond to some unexpected events and emergencies. Following these procedures should help to ensure safety for you, our patients and their families. HEOP Part F = Fire If there is a fire, remember the term "RACE". RACE is a national acronym used to help you remember what you must do in case of a fire: R – Rescue/Remove Your first priority is to remove patients from immediate danger. A - Alarm Pull the fire alarm/alert Security by calling ext. 88222. C - Contain Close all doors and prepare for evacuation. E – Evacuate/Extinguish Go to the next fire zone. Evacuate horizontally following

    your unit’s evacuation plan. Do not use elevators, use only stairs. Remember to Close ALL doors.

    To use the fire extinguisher, remember “PASS”:

    P – Pull the pin A – Aim the nozzle/hose at the base of the fire S – Squeeze the handle together S – Sweep the nozzle side to side

    HEOP Part B = Bomb Threat In the event of a bomb threat, (1) contact Security at ext. 88222 immediately with the information and details; (2) cooperate fully with leaders and authorities; and (3) search your area for unfamiliar or suspicious objects (if asked or directed by leaders).

If a Part A is announced, immediately check your area for the child with the description provided and monitor the exits of the unit and hospital. Code Blue = Cardiac Arrest If a patient, visitor or employee has cardiac or respiratory arrest, call for help:

    • Press a “Code Blue” button (a black toggle switch on a blue background with the word “CODE” inscribed above the switch. Some of the switches are covered with a clear plastic shield.) Once activated, the Code Blue button should be left in the “ON” position for several minutes. This allows the Resource Center Associate to identify the location of the alarm; or

    • Dial “0” and inform the Resource Center operator that there is a “Code Blue.” The healthcare provider should inform the operator of the exact location of the medical emergency.

    • Begin CPR if you are certified to do so. If you are not, wait for the team. Safety Tips You can help us make CCMC a safer place by taking steps to protect yourself:

    • Report any suspicious person or unauthorized persons to Security immediately. • Do not leave your purse or wallet unattended. Keep them out of view. • Watch drug containers and packages for signs of tampering.

    Patient Care (Standard) Precautions: Standard Precautions are a set of standardized precautions to be used for all patients, regardless of illness or medical condition. These procedures were originally designed to manage possible exposures to blood borne viruses such as HIV or Hepatitis B, but have evolved to include procedures that will reduce exposures to other pathogens as well. These precautions incorporate hand washing, personal protective equipment, sharps safety and cleaning and disinfection. The second tier is contact, droplet and airborne precautions. Signs are posted on patient doors to inform staff and visitors to take applicable precautions. Infection Control To contact the office, call ext. 5-9392 Jennifer Martin, Nurse Epidemiologist. CCMC has a comprehensive infection control plan with policies and procedures designed to prevent and control infection in patients, families, visitors, employees and others who may use our service or work on site. Policies of particular concern are available on the CCMC intranet.

    General Infection Control Guidelines All residents need to follow a basic level of caution during their work activities. These include: • Clean uniforms/clothing; long hair should be restrained or tied back. • Avoid touching eyes or mouth during patient contact activities. • No eating or drinking in areas where patient contact activities • Routine handwashing whenever contamination might have occurred and in-between all

    patient contact.

    7. CORPORATE COMPLIANCE EMTALA stands for the Emergency Medical Treatment Active Labor Act. You may also hear it referred to as COBRA or the Anti-Patient Dumping Statute.

    Important Things to Remember EMTALA prohibits hospital EDs from delaying care, refusing treatment, or transferring patients to another hospital based on their inability to pay for services. Hospitals and physicians cannot delay medical screening (examination) or treatment to inquire about the patient's method of payment or insurance status. Anyone (child or adult) on the Hospital grounds/property, who needs to be examined or who requests a medical examination, receive a medical screening by a doctor. We do not refuse anyone who needs or requests medical treatment. Your Role Is Very Important : If anyone comes up to you and asks you or tells you that they want to be seen by a doctor, or needs to be seen for medical care, take them to the Emergency room right away.

    Corporate Compliance Healthcare corporate compliance refers to an organization’s ability to operate within the rules, regulations, and policies created by the facility, government, regulatory agencies or payers. For CCMC, this means “doing it right even when no one is looking.” CCMC is committed to the delivery of high quality health care through the ability and professionalism of the CCMC staff. Everyone has a hand in compliance and can help ensure that CCMC maintains the highest standards of legal and ethical excellence by asking questions and/or informing your supervisor of any suspected compliance violations. Code of Conduct The CCMC/FPP Code of Conduct defines our expectations for behavior in the work environment. The Code of Conduct, which incorporates eight standards as described in this document, provide specific guidance applicable to all “Staff”, defined as the Board of Directors, employees, members of the medical staff, allied health professionals, students, residents, volunteers, contractors, and agents. (Please refer to the CCMC intranet for a full copy of the Code of Conduct.) Standard 1 Legal Compliance – All Staff must comply with federal and state laws. These laws include but are not limited to: discrimination, fraud and abuse, environmental safety, antitrust, political activities, taxation, billing and coding, and recordkeeping (access and retention).

    Standard 2 Business Ethics – All Staff must accurately and honestly represent CCMC/FPP and must not engage in any activity to scheme or defraud anyone or the organization of money, property or services. Such ethical behavior includes, but is not limited to protection of human subjects in research, scientific integrity, receipt of donations, and professional organization standards. Standard 3 Confidentiality – All Staff must maintain the confidentiality of patient, employee and other proprietary information according to legal and ethical standards. Standard 4 Conflict of Interest – All Staff must not use his/her position to profit personally or to assist others in profiting in any way at the expense of the organization. All Staff must disclose any actual or potential conflicts to the Compliance Office, as well as remove themselves from situations where there is or may be the possibility of a conflict of interest. Standard 5 Business Relationships – All business transactions with all third parties must be completely ethical and legal. Staff must not offer, give, solicit, or receive any form of bribe or other improper payment or inducement. All marketing activities must be honest, straightforward, fully informative and non-deceptive. Standard 6 Protection of Assets – All Staff must protect the assets of the organization through efficient and effective use of resources. Organization assets must be maintained solely for business related purposes and must not be used for private or personal interest. Standard 7 Quality of Care – All Staff must commit to providing high quality and safe patient care as defined by our mission and vision and must respect the rights of patients and families. Staff have a duty to report any patient-related deficiency, error or variance, regardless of magnitude or significance. Standard 8 Administration – The Compliance Officer shall work with others with respect to the implementation and enforcement of the Code of Conduct. Staff must report suspected or actual violations. 8. Patient Safety Red Rule – A Red Rule is a rule that is always invoked to prevent errors from occurring. CCMC’s Red Rule is to always use two patient identifiers for every patient encounter. The identifiers may include patient name and medical record number or date of birth. SBAR – SBAR is a technique which provides a framework for effective communication among the healthcare team. When conducting a patient hand-off, use the SBAR technique:

    S – Situation (concise statement of the problem) B – Background (pertinent and brief information related to situation) A – Assessment (analysis and considerations of options – what you found/think) R – Recommendation (action requested/recommended – what you want)

    Bed Sharing CCMC prohibits parent/legal guardian bed sharing with child less than six months of age. Child Protection and Abuse All CCMC staff have a duty to recognize and respond to cases of suspected child abuse or neglect. State law mandates that the health care providers with direct contact with children report all cases of abuse and neglect to the Connecticut Department of Children’s and Families (DCF). CCMC has a Child Protection Team that serves as a consulting body to all staff and offers guidance with the reporting process as needed. The Team can be reached by calling ext. 5-9700.

    Universal Protocol (Time Out for Safety) CCMC policy requires a "time out" be performed prior to all non-emergent procedures (invasive or not) where the patient will receive more than minimal sedation, as well as, all invasive procedures. The final time out is the last step of the pre-procedure verification process, which involves the ongoing gathering and verification of information, starting with the decision to do the procedure, and ending with the "time out" right before the start of the procedure. The time out should occur before the patient receives conscious sedation for the procedure. The “time out” includes verification of:

    • correct patient, • correct side and site, • correct procedure, • correct patient position, • availability of correct implants and any special equipment or special requirements, • correct operator, and • correct informed consent.

    Chain of Command CCMC policy requires staff to use the chain of command if they have concerns about a patient or the quality of care being delivered to a patient. The CCMC chain of command includes the following steps:

    1. Call or page the junior resident or APRN. 2. If the response is insufficient or in question, page the senior resident. 3. In the NICU, if the response is insufficient or in question, page the Fellow. 4. If the response is insufficient or in question, call the resource registered nurse. 5. If the response is insufficient or in question, call or page the attending physician. 6. If these avenues fail to achieve a satisfactory result, page the Medical Director of

    the unit where the patient is located. • Medical Surgical Units – Medical Director

    HIPAA Education

    Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

    Employee Self-learning Program

    March 2003

  • 1

    What is HIPAA? HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This Act was signed into law in 1996 with regulations effective April 14, 2003. The 3 key focus areas of this law are to: Keep healthcare data secure Keep personal health information private Standardize the formats for electronic billing in healthcare

    HIPAA is designed to maintain the privacy of protected health information. This applies not only to patient charts and medical records, but to registration, billing and other financial information as well. It includes all written, oral, and electronic information. What is Protected Health Information (PHI)? Protected Health Information is any medical record information that is created, received, or maintained regarding the treatment of a patient. This includes all past, present, or future physical or mental health care provided to an individual and information about the payment of such care that identifies the person in any way. There are penalties including fines and jail time if an individual or organization is found to have misused patient information. If you discover a staff member not using PHI correctly, you should inform your manager or the Privacy Officer. How does HIPAA affect CCMC? CCMC is required to develop appropriate procedures, processes, and training to meet the HIPAA requirements. See the Intranet for details. Some of these requirements include: Having a Privacy Officer. Liz Tetreault from the Health Information Department is

    CCMC’s Privacy Officer. Providing a Privacy Notice to all patients/family. Assuring all parties that their concerns about privacy will be treated without retribution.

    Who can I share information with on behalf of the patient? No matter what your role (employee, student, volunteer, vendor) is at the Medical Center, you come across information about patients in some way. Never request nor disclose a patient’s personal information to anyone who does not have a specific, job-related, “need to know”. Patient information can be shared with any party that is involved in the direct treatment of that patient. Both the person disclosing the information and the person requesting the information must have a job-related, “need to know.” Patient information can be shared with any party that is involved in the payment of the services related to the patient’s care. Again, all parties must have a job-related need to know the information. Patient information can be shared with internal CCMC staff that need to have access to personal patient information do their job. Patient information can be shared with companies that CCMC uses to support the Treatment, Payment, and/or Operations (TPO) of patient care. These companies must have HIPAA

  • 2

    confidentiality agreements called Business Associate Agreements in place with CCMC. Contact the Privacy Officer for any questions about a specific company’s agreement. Examples are: Transcription Companies Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey Company JCAHO/DPH Hartford Hospital

    Who must have a patient written authorization to receive patient Information? A written authorization from the patient/family is required in order for CCMC to release patient information to any external party that does not require CCMC for public reporting of patient information. Examples are: Attorney offices Social Security benefit office Police departments

    How does HIPAA affect the patient? The patient/family will receive a Notice of Privacy each time they are treated at CCMC. A Notice of Privacy is a written document that describes how the Medical Center uses/discloses and protects the patient’s information. (See the Intranet – HIPAA Reference Site for a sample.) Patients and families will need to acknowledge that they received the information as soon as possible. Patients cannot be denied treatment if they refuse to acknowledge receipt. The patient/family has the right to request restrictions on the use of their information. These restrictions apply to: Patient status information available to the public via the public directory Patient request for confidential communication Others restriction requests will be reviewed by the CCMC Privacy Officer

    The patient/family can request a list of all disclosures of patient information that were not used for treatment, payment or internal CCMC operations. Examples of this would include:

    Research Legal requests State/Federal reporting

    When information is disclosed, it is generally limited to the minimum amount of information that is needed for the purpose of the requested release. This is referred to as “minimum necessary” disclosure. Please see the HIPAA Room on the Intranet for detail listing of the items that require a patient authorization. All such disclosers must be documented in the patient’s medical record. The patient/family has the right to request corrections to the information stored in their medical record. How does HIPAA affect marketing or fundraising? All marketing by external parties is prohibited.

  • 3

    Fundraising is accepted, but it cannot be diagnosis specific. All fundraising activities must be approved and coordinated through the Foundation. How do the HIPAA regulations affect me? All employees are responsible for keeping patient information private and secure. If there is any chance information may be confidential, it must be treated as such. Each person is responsible to do the following as related to their job: Keep all verbal communication appropriate. Never discuss patient information outside of work. Be careful not to discuss patient information in hallways, elevators, cafeteria, or common

    areas where others might overhear you. Speak in a normal tone of voice to the appropriate people when discussing patient

    information. Use judgment to share only the information that is needed, do not give extra details.

    Keep all written documentation secure. Never leave medical files unattended on desks, in patient rooms, and other public places

    or areas with unauthorized personnel. Make sure patient files are closed and stored in the designated spot. Never remove patient information from the Medical Center. Properly dispose of documents in a confidential waste container.

    Keep all computer information secure. Never share a computer password or security code. Make sure computer screens cannot be viewed by the public. Remember to close screens with patient information when walking away from the

    computer. Remove printouts of patient information from the printer promptly. Dispose of extra and

    imperfect copies in the confidential waste container. Never send external email with patient information unless you have written authorization

    from the patient/family. Keep fax machine use safe and secure. Remove all faxes from the machine as soon as possible. Confirm fax numbers before sending patient information. Use a cover sheet stating that the information being sent is confidential. Verify that the transmission was received.

    Keep telephone conversations safe and secure. Health information should only be shared with the patient, parent, or legal guardian. Do not leave confidential information on answering machines/voice mail. Limit

    information to the name of the caller, CCMC or department, and a contact number. Verify the caller by asking whom you are speaking to.

    Internal Review Board (IRB) approval is required before any research can be performed. Never share patient information collected in any database without an authorization from the patient/family.
